Is this mold?

I’m a very paranoid person about mold and this is my first ever project so I’m hoping I can get some veterans to tell me if this is just a bad stain or mold. The white spot was under a penny so I’m not so concerned about that, but the rest looks like just a terrible stain. Let me know, thanks!

Slow crank?

Previously got the motor to fire a couple times with starting fluid before we had everything finished. It’s mostly done now and wondering if the starter is slow cranking. Rpm gauge isn’t working to tell

Ask NOS/Replica Underhood Insulation Liner?

Is anyone making a Replica Underhood Insulation Liner for the 87-93 Foxes? All I can find are those craptacular generic ones at LMR and CJ.

I almost sold this...

I've owned this car since 2010. It was my first project car and a father son project with my dad. I always enjoyed it but then I got another project car, and then a fun daily, and the weekend weather sucked the last couple years and it just sat.

I posted in Facebook groups, on marketplace itself, had multiple deals fall through and felt like I was running a call center at one point. Finally had a guy that seemed really serious. He loved the car, drove it, realized it hurt his back too much due to a prior work accident and he still considered buying it anyway. At that point we talked for another hour and he convinced me not to sell it and I'm really glad he did. Finally bit the bullet and it's getting a terminator x as we speak. Over the winter I'll probably finally do the five lug swap I've wanted to do for years and maybe a little boost next year.

I see a lot of people posting "thinking about selling" and just wanted to give an alternate perspective. The process sucks. You'll deal with tons of tire kickers, tons of know-it-alls in the comments, people no showing pick ups and then falling off the face of the earth. It's not like it used to be where people come see the car and try and deal in person.

The whole process actually made me fall in love with the car again and I can't wait to get it up to modern standards.

Using TFS-16841-16 beehive springs on cast iron gt40 heads? .550 lift cam

2 Upvotes

Going to start off by saying, I don’t know much at all about building engines. Just going over something I should’ve done the first time when I originally put the cam in my 302(found out my stock cam was no good when I was replacing my timing cover and at the time the Mustang was my only car at the time so I bought the cheapest cam I could get my hands on). I was running SUM-8901 (b303+ cam) with stock springs for a few months and the car ran great until the oil pump seized (210k miles on the pump). Now that I’ve opened the motor up, I’m trying to do things the right way and upgrade to springs that can handle the lift. Planning to install the springs at 1.940in like the trickflow site recommends. I’d just like some input on whether these would be the correct springs to buy. I know “Alex’s parts” sells springs specifically for gt40 heads but they’re out of stock. It’s also an AOD car with 3.08 gears.. I know someone who has a brand new trickflow stage 1 cam they’d give me a deal on or I can buy a whole new cam aswell.. I’d really just like to know if I can use TFS-16841-16 springs with the SUM-8901 cam. Like I said before, the car drove great. Didn’t bog down or stall out eventhough the aod is stock. Any input is appreciated
